Answer 2

The P-38 Lightning, the P-39 Airacobra, and the P-40 (various names with "Hawk" in them)

Answer 3

Vincent is right.  Jim is also correct, add the C model Mustang to that list (only mattered where they built it; Tx or Ca).

No British aircraft used an Allison, Merlins all.  

Answer 4

Also include the British Lancaster bomber and the Spitfire

Answer 5

Actually the Lancaster used Packard-Merlins; the Spit used RR Merlins.  

The A36/ P51B model also used an Allison 12 cylinder engine.

Answer 6

P-40, P-38 (x2) A36 Apache (a Ground attack version of the P-51A) P-51A. These were the major users of the Allison Inline Engine.

No British Aircraft used the Allison. We had some Mustangs (P-51As) that used it but all P-51s from the B model onwards used God`s own engine, otherwise known as the Merlin, produced by Packard under licence.

The same engine from Packard was also used in Canadian produced Avro Lancasters and also in the Mark XVI Spitfires produced at Castle Bromwich in the Midlands of England.

Answer 8

The British aircraft listed all used Rolls Royce Merlin engines (some later Spitfires used Griffon engines).

The Merlin was built under license (with a few minor changes) in the US and became the Packard Merlin, and was fitted to most P-51's.  A few Packard Merlins were fitted to Lancaster bombers, but these had different servicing requirements to the RR engines, dspite being essentially the same.

It was the Merlin that made the P-51 a success, and the early Allison models were quickly withdrawn due to poor performance.  The P-51 actually only came about because of a British specification for a long-range fighter-interceptor, and a lackof resources to produce such in Britain.
